Happy Fall! Just a little something to make you smile. "Fall is in the Air." #autumnart #celebratefall

Ok — so this is positively unacceptable. But what I don’t get is the need for the people avidly filming instead of stopping this POS from hurting this poor woman. WTF?

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It's probably worth keeping an eye on this Florida politics story. Manatee County is going headlong into a potential fight with Ron DeSantis over local home rule and wetlands buffer provisions that voters explicitly elected them to change. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ayx...
FB post by George Kruse, Manatee County Commissioner 

Thursday, August 21, the Manatee County BOCC will vote to restore your wetland buffers and remove Policy 2.1.2.8 to protect our rural development boundary.

A reminder about what we’re fighting and why I believe we have every right to do so in spite of SB180:

What type of person spends most of their time using every institution they can, covering up & defending accusations about their past, unless they're guilty. The cover up & spin is costing taxpayers millions.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings. Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1
